Work Suitability
Necromus's base work abilities. Higher levels = faster work speed.
No work suitability — this Pal is purely for combat or riding.
Is Necromus Worth Using?
✅ Yes — Necromus is a powerful Dark Legendary ground mount. With ATK 200, HP 200, and the Death Knight aura that constantly damages nearby enemies, Necromus excels in offensive combat. It's the Dark counterpart to Paladius — together they form the most iconic Legendary duo in Palworld.
Key Strengths
- ATK 200 + HP 200 — offensive powerhouse with excellent durability
- Death Knight aura constantly damages nearby enemies — passive DPS
- Massive dark lance attack — devastating single-target damage
- Dark type — strong against Neutral-type enemies and PvP
Weaknesses & Limitations

- Speed 100 — slow compared to flying mounts

Verdict
For players who want an offensive Dark combat mount, Necromus is a top-tier pick. If you prefer a healing/sustain playstyle, Paladius (its twin knight) offers similar stats with a healing aura instead. For flying Dark coverage, Shadowbeak is faster. For base utility, Astegon (Mining Lv 4) delivers far more.
